Jeremiah Green

Jeremiah Martin Green (born March 4, 1977) is a founding member and drummer of the indie rock band Modest Mouse from 1993 to March 2003, and again from July 2004 to present.

He was born in Oahu, Hawaii while his father was in the Army. He grew up in Moxee, WA a few miles outside of Yakima. His family moved to the Seattle area in 1989. He has an older brother named Adam, a half sister named Theresa and a stepsister.

Of his work on Sad Sappy Sucker, Spencer Owen at Pitchfork Media has said, "Jeremiah Green proves himself to be one of indie rock's best drummers, even this early on in the game."1

In an interview with drummer Benjamin Weikel, who briefly replaced Green during the latter's hiatus from Modest Mouse, he states that Green's drum parts have a "great, loose feeling that's hard to emulate".[1]

His rhythms can be as unkempt and intricate as the music they underpin (the rolling shuffle of “Grey Ice Water,” or the stumbling clatter of “Truckers Atlas,” for instance), but they are always strong enough to bolster the momentum of even the most meandering tracks. And when presented with a genuine groove, like the lean, funky “Tiny Cities Made of Ashes,” he forces the band to march in lockstep behind him.[1]
